I need help with a small algebra question.?

Question

Hey if a number is -|5| whats the absolute value?

i know |5|=5 so would -|5|= -5?

yes mam, the absolute sign is only around the 5.. therefore it doesnt apply to the negative which is outside of it

Answer 2

yes, you're thinking of it correctly

Answer 3

correct.

Answer 4

yes

because the negative is outside the bracets meaning to do nothing
